WWW.SURVIVALEBOOKS.COMAFI10-207 4 APRIL 2008 89Aeromedical Evacuation—Airlift service provided for the movement of patients by AMC aircraftassigned for aeromedical evacuation purposes.Aeromedical Evacuation Control Team (AECT)—The AECT is the central source of expertise foraeromedical evacuation. This team is responsible for operational planning, scheduling, and execution ofscheduled and unscheduled AE missions through the appropriate AE elements. The AECT monitorsexecution of AE missions and coordinates and communicates with theater planning cells and AEelements. The AECT advises and briefs the DIRMOBFOR on AE issues.Air and Space Expeditionary Force (AEF)—An organization comprised of air and space capabilitiesthat provides tailored force packages to meet combatant commander needs across the full spectrum ofmilitary operations. AEFs are inherently capable of performing one or more of the AF’s basic functions:counterair, counterspace, counterland, countersea, strategic attack, counterinformation, command andcontrol, airlift, air refueling, spacelift, space support, special operations employment, intelligence,surveillance, reconnaissance, and combat search and rescue. The fundamental underpinning to thesustained execution of these functions is the AF’s ability to provide the full complement of ExpeditionaryCombat Support forces.Airborne Report (AIREP)—A report made by an aircraft while airborne concerning position, weather,and aircraft data. It is used for recording in-flight weather and position reports primarily when flying onover water missions.Airlift Coordination Center (ALCC)—Organization that functions within the AOC to plan, coordinate,manage, and execute theater airlift operations in the AOR.Airlift Control Team (ALCT)—The ALCT is the source of intra-theater expertise within the AMD. TheALCT brings intra-theater airlift functional expertise from the theater organizations to plan andcoordinate intra-theater airlift operations in the AOR/JOA for the JFACC. TRANSCOM/AMC mayaugment the ALCT with intra-theater airlift expertise. These two sources of airlift expertise integrate intoa single ALCT within the AMD.Air Mobility Control Center (AMCC)—AMCC is the functional name for the Command and Control(C2) flight that is a part of each Air Mobility Squadron (AMS). AMCCs provide C2 support at key enroute locations. Normally OCONUS AMCCs manage all aircraft and aircrews operating AMC andAMC-gained missions through their location. Assigned personnel monitor strategic mobility missions,report mission movement for theater assigned C-130 forces (when operating on AMC missions), andcoordinate ground support activities to include maintenance, aerial port services, and aircrew support forall AMC and AMC-gained missions transiting their station.Air Mobility Control Unit (AMCU)—The terms "AMS, AMCF, ALCS, ALCF, USAFE AMS, andPACAF OSD” are interchangeable and describe the in-garrison unit identifier. Unless otherwise noted, theterm “Air Mobility Control Unit (AMCU)” collectively refers to those units.Air Mobility Control Team (AMCT)—The AMCT serves as AMD’s centralized source of air mobilityC3 during mission execution. The Chief of AMD uses the AMCT to direct or redirect, as required, airmobility forces in concert with aerospace forces to respond to requirement changes, higher priorities, orimmediate execution limitations. The AMCT deconflicts all air mobility operations into, out of, andwithin the AOR/JOA. The AMCT maintains execution process and communications connectivity fortasking, coordinating, and flight following with the AOC COD, subordinate air mobility units, andmission forces.
